ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of losartan on aortic elasticity and remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats (spontaneously hypertensive rats SHR). Methods WKY (Wistar - Kyoto ) rats with normal blood pressure and 16 weeks spontaneously hypertensive rats were randomly divided into WKY control group, SHR control group, high dose losartan group (SHR + HL), low doses losartan group (SHR + LL). Each group has six animals which were given normal diet for 24 weeks. Losartan which was dissolved in 10 ml physiological saline was filling in stomach, other groups were filling with physiological saline. Tail arterial blood pressure, kidney tissues calcium concentration, renal small artery hydroxyproline content was measured and small arteries wall thickness of Glomerularwas detected, and the ratio of thickness and inner diameter (MT/LR) in kidney pathological were observed. Results The calcium concentration of SHR group in kidney tissues was [(18.42±2.34)μmol/g], kidney small artery hydroxyproline content was [(8.26±2.02)mg/g], which were greater than WKY group [(11.83±1.98)μmol/g,(5.16±0.98)mg/g] (t=3.116,3.258,P<0.05), but the two treatment groups were less than SHR group (t=2.946,P<0.05), the difference was significant. Small arteries wall thickness of Glomerular was [(5.25±1.13)μm], the ratio of thickness and inner diameter (MT/LR) was [(9.57±1.78)%], which were greater than WKY group[(4.03±0.16)μm ,(7.12±1.35)%](t=2.836,3.425,P<0.05), but the wall thickness of two treatment groups were [(7.64±1.29)%,(7.85±1.32)%], the two treatment groups were less than SHR group (t=3.512,3.648,P<0.05). Conclusions Losartanmay inhibit intracellular calcium overload, reduce fibrosis degree and improve renal arteriole resistance and reverse the renal arteriole reconstruction of SHR rats.
